This program makes summer reading a truly enriching experience. It’s packed with informal learning and community engagement, boosting literacy and year-round reading. Performances, programs, a city-wide Summer Reading Challenge, and the Your Author Series—which connects children and teens to their favorite authors and illustrators—serve Angelenos of all ages.
